Chapter 14: Deer and Snake Fight

A black shadow fell between the branches high above.

The triangular snake head suddenly opened in an exaggerated arc.

The rain and fog on all sides were stirred up, turning into a vortex, and then mixed with yellow-green airflow, gushing out towards Yu Ke.

The strong sense of crisis made Yu Ke stop immediately and retreat.

Turning his head to look at the place where he had just stopped for a short time, the fallen leaves on the ground were corroded into a pool of pus, emitting a foul smell. If he had hesitated for half a step, he would have been seriously injured even if he was lucky enough not to die.

He raised his eyes and locked onto the area where the snake head was shrouded in clouds and fog again.

He could only vaguely see a pair of dark yellow snake pupils releasing murderous intent.

Even Yu Ke was still frightened at this time, realizing that his target might not only have changed in shape.

How could a python spit out poisonous fog?

To deal with this venom spray, you can't shoot at a fixed point, you must run!

With this thought in mind, Yu Ke immediately took a step and ran through the forest, while continuously shooting explosive arrows at the location of the snake head, trying to cause severe damage to it.

However, due to the cover of rain and fog, and the deliberate retraction of the giant python, Yu Ke could not lock the snake head and could only control the general direction.

Although the arrow had a high hit rate, it was extremely difficult to cause severe damage in a short period of time because the giant python was too large.

On the other hand, the giant python continued to spray venom or poisonous mist to compress Yu Ke's activity space, and from time to time connected with the powerful whip of the snake's tail, which was also somewhat helpless for Yu Ke, who was agile and energetic.

The situation was deadlocked, but Yu Ke's expression gradually became solemn.

As time went on, the giant python's venom and poisonous mist began to affect the environment, and the air gradually filled with yellow-green poisonous miasma, which was the giant python's real killer move.

Even though Yu Ke was wearing a full-coverage helmet that could protect him from the poisonous miasma to a certain extent, his body was not capable of doing so.

Yu Ke was not a fool. He knew that the current rainy and foggy environment was a great advantage for the giant python. It would be irresponsible for him to stay here. He would not risk his life to hunt a giant python.

Although he was not very satisfied with this world, Yu Ke never planned to die again to make a new start.

But just as Yu Ke was thinking about the retreat, the giant python hovering in the branches above his head stopped the output of venom. Its huge body climbed rapidly, and it took the initiative to give up further suppressing the former and prepare to take the advantage.

The sudden change made Yu Ke full of doubts.

Fortunately, he soon knew the answer.

Almost at the same time as the giant python retreated, a wave of air suddenly surged from the east, washing away the poisonous miasma in the forest, and then another majestic gray-white figure broke into Yu Ke's field of vision.

The frightened deer king I saw not long ago!

There is no doubt that it was its arrival that diverted the giant python's attention, and the performance of this frightened deer king was indeed extraordinary.

Walking out of the fog, the strong presence made people dare not ignore it at all.

Standing in the clearing in the forest, Yu Ke clearly saw that the black ball in the center of its horns on its head burst out with a deep purple halo, and the poisonous miasma within a radius of ten meters instantly stagnated, and then it collapsed as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

Seeing this scene, Yu Ke's eyes widened immediately. This is already an extraordinary ability.

Although similar cases of ferocious beasts have appeared in the internal training of the Forest Defense Bureau, this is Yu Ke's first close contact.

The giant python that had just fought with Yu Ke for a long time obviously had no intention of continuing the fierce battle. Relying on its climbing ability, it continued to climb to the top of the jungle.

This time Yu Ke was completely helpless.

If it were the usual sunny weather, he could continue to track and attack the giant python with his sharp bow and arrows.

But now there is thick fog, and the perception range of the Heart of the Wilderness is limited, so Yu Ke cannot determine the location of the giant python.

Bang!

The heavy impact interrupted Yu Ke's thinking.

Turning his head, he saw the Shocked Horned Deer King leaping up, his majestic body was extremely agile, easily jumping onto a branch five or six meters above the ground, and then kicking the tree trunk fiercely, continuing to chase the giant python.

Is this okay?

Surprised, Yu Ke decisively chose to follow.

He may not be able to see the rules of the giant python's behavior, but the sound of the Shocked Horned Deer King kicking the tree is particularly clear.

The existence of the helmet allows Yu Ke to easily lock the direction of the sound.

If a battle breaks out between the Shocked Horned Deer King and the giant python, no matter who wins or loses, the remaining party will definitely be exhausted, and then it will be Yu Ke's harvest.

Even if the result is that the Frightened Horned Deer King wins, as it is a protected animal of the Forestry Bureau, Yu Ke may not take action, but this does not prevent Yu Ke from collecting the giant python's body and shooting a video with it. This level of exotic beast battle will definitely gain a lot of clicks.

With this idea in mind, Yu Ke put away his sharp-toothed bow and arrow, and followed the sound and moved forward. Occasionally, he looked up at the sky above the jungle, trying to track the traces of the Frightened Horned Deer King or the giant python.

What surprised Yu Ke was that the fierce battle never broke out.

The giant python seemed to have no temper. No matter how the Frightened Horned Deer King chased it, it had no intention of turning back to fight, as if it knew that Yu Ke was following it.

The pursuit lasted for nearly twenty minutes, and Yu Ke's physical strength dropped rapidly. Fortunately, he had the physical recovery effect of the Wild Heart, otherwise running wildly in the rainy forest would be a test for anyone.

Until the sound of flowing water came from the front.

Yu Ke clearly heard a giant creature entering the water, and the unwilling roar of the Shocked Deer King.

He raised his watch and looked at his current position.

Sure enough, during the pursuit, he unknowingly came to the area where the Mirror Lake tributary passed.

The giant python was really smart. Seeing that it could not get rid of the Shocked Deer King by relying on the dense forest, it simply rushed into the Mirror Lake tributary. Like this kind of jungle giant python, the ability to swim is definitely not bad, and the Shocked Deer King could not jump into the river like it.

When Yu Ke walked out of the dense forest and came to the rock wall beside the river, the scene in front of him verified his speculation.

The Shocked Horned Deer King stood on a boulder, staring at the tributary of the Mirror Lake that was constantly flowing due to the influx of rainwater, and kept digging the ground with his front legs, obviously unwilling to let the giant python run away.

Yu Ke keenly noticed that there was a lot of blood left by the giant python on the river beach next to him. His attack just now should have worked. The explosive arrow caused a lot of damage to the giant python, which may be one of the reasons why it did not dare to counterattack.

In any case, the chase ended with the giant python escaping, and Yu Ke and the Shocked Horned Deer King lost their target.

Just as Yu Ke put away his bow and arrow and prepared to leave, the Shocked Horned Deer King turned his head and locked his sights on him, and the black ball in the horns on his head emitted a dark purple halo again.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Hey, we are not enemies. I am here to hunt down the giant python."

Yu Ke, who had just seen the ability of the Shocked Horned Deer King, naturally did not want to conflict with the other party here. He immediately raised his hands to indicate that he was not in danger. He then walked to the bloodstains on the river beach, tapped them with his feet, and then said,

"The wounds on the giant python were caused by me. You should have seen them when you were chasing them just now, right?"

Considering that the Shocked Horned Deer King had undergone many mutations.

Yu Ke believed that it should have a considerable degree of intelligence, so he chose to explain.

Facts have proved that his choice was correct. The Shocked Horned Deer King might not understand what he was saying, but after seeing his actions, he quickly thought of the many wounds on the giant python, and his eyes looking at the former suddenly became much gentler.

But that was all. The Shocked Horned Deer King, who could no longer chase down the giant python, quickly turned back to the jungle and disappeared in the mist.

Yu Ke was originally thinking about whether he could communicate with it to cooperate in hunting down the giant python.

Now he can only give up and wait for an opportunity later.
